The Central
Information Commission (CIC) has pulled up the environment ministry for
providing "false and misleading" information that it had conducted no
study on the harmful effects of mobile radiation. It has also asked the
ministry to explain why it allowed unrestricted installation of mobile towers
and not formulated a policy on it. The commission was hearing a case
related to RTI applicant Suresh Chandra Guptha who sought information related
to a WHO study that said electromagnetic waves from mobile towers could be
possible carcinogens for a kind of brain cancer.
